EQUIPMENT Chemistry—The Laboratory is thoroughly equipped for experimental work in General Chemistry, and in qualitative and quantitative analyses. Each desk is provided with drawers and shelves, and a set of apparatus and reagent bottles for each individual student. Each desk is also provided with gas and water connections. New sinks and shelves have recently been installed and additional apparatus has been added. The department is provided with two chemical balances with weights of precision, a stock of glass and porcelain ware, and a supply of chemicals sufficiently complete for all the work offered in Chemistry. Mineralogy—For the work in Mineralogy the laboratory is provided with a set of celluloid crystal models showing the relations of the axes in each system, a Jolly Balance, a set of 100 plaster of paris crystal models, a set of 250 minerals for class use and a set of minerals for work in blowpipe analysis. Physics—There has been provided necessary apparatus to demonstrate the work offered in the courses in Physics. The equipment has been greatly increased during the past year. The most important new items are: Rectifiers, Tungar and WEBER COLLEGE 19 Nodon Valve Types, Polariscope, Sonometer with Dynamometers, Resistance Coils, Galvanometer Hope's Apparatus, Collision Ball Apparatus, Torsion Apparatus, Westphal's Specific Gravity Balance, Differential Pulley, Hygrometer, Wheatstone Bridge, Ruhmkorff's Induction Coil and Spectroscope. Geology—There is provided for the work in Geology a representative collection of specimens. The collection includes typical specimens of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks and samples of the more common lead, silver, gold, copper, zinic, iron, and tungsten ores, collected in the mining districts of Utah and adjoining states. The rock and ore specimens are labeled in separate trays and are classified with respect to origin and composition. During the present year there has been added a Genetic Collection of 110 rock specimens made by the U. S. Geological Survey, a collection of fossils from the North end of the Wasatch range, a collection of fossils typical of all the larger Geological periods from the Cambrian to the Pleistocene, and the following Relief maps made of plaster of paris: Wasatch and Uinta Mountains with adjacent regions, Map of the United States, Map of the Henry Mountains, Utah, and Stereogram of the Henry Mountains. Biology—The equipment in this department consists of simple and compound microscopes, microtome, sterilizers, glassware, stains, chemicals, slides, and a considerable amount of plant and animal material. During the present year there has been added a high grade Stereopticon adapted for both transparent and opaque objects and a high power microscope. |
